3rd Pov
Slowly stretching as he got up from his bed, Dawn got up and grabbed his coat before leaving the luxurious guest room that was prepared for him.
Inside one of the many hotels available in Tempest, the sun was barely waking up forming a beautiful orange shaded sky on the horizon.
Dawn : Today is the first unofficial day of this festival, huh...
What was planned in the agenda for now was the coming up of many merchants and adventurers in the capital city.
They were going to see and visit the city before the festival, some nobles might even pass today but none of that really concerned Dawn himself.
Dawn : Wake up, Kyuri.
Once he was ready, he went up to his small companion who was still sleeping, a little fox who had now 9 tails after being named.
Kyuri : Ugh, mashter is too mean, let me sleep, kion~
Dawn : You want to miss lunch that much ?
Kyuri : No !
Immediately after hearing her third favorite word which is « lunch », the fox's eyes flew open as she shook her fur forcing her brain to come to sense.
Licking her paw, she then jumped on Dawn's shoulder as he chuckled to her antics.
Dawn : We got invited to eat with Ramiris and Rimuru, so expect some good food.
It was truly a peaceful and calm time, walking down the street of Tempest...Dawn watched as the first few goblins and other monsters raised to open their shop and business.
Humans were present too, this just showed how much impact Tempest had on the interracial relation between humans and monsters in general.
Dawn : (Now that I think...Masayuki should arrive today...)
Looking up, the climate of Tempest was really ideal...a clear blue sky almost everyday of the year, not too hot or cold.
Even during the winter, it wasn't like in the west where every winter was freezing cold...
Kyuri : (It's master's fault for using that Ice spell on the entire west!)
Dawn : (I know...don't remind me...)
Even now, the effect of his and Luna's fight from 2000 years ago was still present, everyone forgot but the world itself didn't.
At that, Dawn could only sight...he couldn't feel the cold or heat but still, hearing everyone complain about the weather made him a bit depressed and guilty.
Dawn : (Luckily, the jura forest didn't seem to have been affected...or at least not enough to permanently change it's weather.)
Dawn also thought about the possibility of Veldora's magicule overpowering his own, returning the Jura forest to its former state.
But well, he wasn't really interested in doing advanced research on weather dynamics.
Kyuri : (Master ! When can I meet Kumara?)
Dawn : (Soon, my friend...very soon.)
Despite having woken up and given a name a few days ago, Dawn still didn't let Kyuri meet her granddaughter.
For one, Kumara wasn't named yet...
And mainly because, even if she was frozen in time...Kyuri had lost a lot of basic mechanisms...she could barely walk or talk.
And due to her being named for the first time, she had undergone an evolution...her previous seven tails growing into nine.
Dawn was confident in comparing her to the powerhouse like Ultima or Carrera...just her fighting ability was greatly decreased due to the seal she had stayed in for Millenia.
But once she recovers everything...Kyuri will be a foe that has to be feared, after all she wasn't a simple nine head as they were called.
Dawn : Huh ?
As he walked suddenly halted, Dawn's eyes narrowed when he noticed a hooded woman walking ahead...the street was still pretty much empty so the person really stood out.
Beneath her large hood which extended into a sort of cape made of a dark night like leather, she seemed to wear a simple and basic white shirt, pants that from a first glance would be cheap.
But Dawn knew how expensive they were, a noble? She was certainly someone who held some prestige, at least based on her clothing.
At her waist, a sheathed sword could be seen, it was a rusty and used blade that could be found in Ruberios for training purposes...
Normally, anyone would think of an adventurer and it was reasonable due to the incoming festival but Dawn realized this person wasn't normal.
The presence and aura she was emanating was close to null, perhaps she might even fool a primordial's detection.
But being a digital life form came up handy as the magicule in the air and everything that compose space naturally faded in his perception.
Dawn : (Kyuri, go ahead...i have some business to attend to.)
Kyuri : (Hai!)
Realizing the seriousness in her master's voice, the nine tailed little fox jumped off his shoulder and disappeared in a trail of light.
She didn't want to get in the way of whatever Dawn was going to do...
Dawn : (A hooded woman, huh...)
The description fit the woman Eleonor and Velzard had met from what they said...
As a specific image flashed in his mind, a light smirk that contained foreign emotion formed onto his face.
The next instant, he had moved behind the hooded woman...his presence still oblivious to her, though she couldn't be blamed because only a handful of people could react to a digital lifeform's movement.
???: !!!
But to Dawn's surprise, this hooded woman noticed his presence after a short break...startled, she turned around and sent a high kick directed to a specific muscle around the stomach area.
Dawn : (Oh ? If it isn't a coincidence, she got a pretty good insight into human anatomy.)
Grinning, he easily swiped his right arm around and caught her leg, at that moment their eyes met.
Her hair and eyes color were different, her facial features were contorted...but Dawn could recognize her.
Dawn : Who are you ?
Yet he decided to hide it, the woman's eyes lit up in shock when she realized who had snuck up behind her.
Her pupil shook in fear but soon calmed down when she supposedly realized that the man in front of her hadn't discovered her identity yet.
???: I- I apologize...my reflex got the best of me.
Dawn : Don't be, I'm the one who suddenly appeared behind you.
Letting her legs go, Dawn's tactic might have been betrayed by his smile, a sincere and hoest one...
Dawn : So what might be your name ?
???: I-i rather keep it for myself...at least for now.
Turning her head slightly, her face flashed a hint of sadness for a moment...as she did her best to look down so her hood could act like a cover for the rest of her face.
???: (I forgot to put on my mask...)
Dawn : I see, you are pretty strong...can I ask why you are in Tempest ?
???: Ah, I mean...there is a festival soon so...I thought I should take a look ?
She sounded unsure of herself, after all Dawn's question was stupid...he actually didn't even need to ask such a question as it was a logical excuse to be in Tempest during this period.
Dawn just wanted to talk a little more...
Dawn : Take a look, huh...I see, I hope you have a great time.
His words held a familiar tint, something that neither of the two of them could understand...yet they felt it's warm.
Slowly, Dawn reached out his hand and patted the shorter woman's head for a few seconds before retracting, the world seemed to have slowed down as the woman looked down.
Her gracious yet simple figure shrinked while she did her best to cover the overflow of emotion she felt at that moment.
Dawn : I have an appointment so I have to go...but I hope we meet again.
??? Pov
Why...i couldn't understand why i was feeling like that now of all time, it has been so long since i abandoned the idea of feeling his touch.
I was resolved in just assisting him and achieving my goal...i-but now, his new appearance had startled me to the very core when I first saw it.
And now we meet again...this man, Dawn Arceid formerly known as Origin Averion...i knew him more than anyone due to the last gift of the mother i had never met.
Dawn I have an appointment so I have to go...but I hope we meet again.
Those words shook my heart as I looked up, his body already turned away as he started walking away.
A tinge of pain traveled through my mind, my hand unconsciously reached out toward him...mid air as the distance between us was far out of my reach.
At that moment...i wanted to call him out, to come back and spend a little more time together...
No, not just together...i had spent enough time at his side already but never had he seen through my lie...
I had planned everything in the shadows for so long, waiting until I would be transported here by fate...the world where my biological parents were born and conceived me.
I couldn't blow up everything now...just because of a buried feeling ! No, this was a lie to myself, after all i was just a liar...
Could i be selfish just once ? Up until now, I had been close to him, to Dawn Arceid...while covering my existence for most of my life.
But never did I mean harm, no I was also fighting for his sake...but deep down, I had always wanted to be close to him.
After...which daughter wouldn't want to be close to her father ?
???: Wait !
And again, I unconsciously let my emotion take control...my voice ragged out with a hint of despair, it was potent and pretty much anyone with common sense could see that I was desperate at this very moment.
I really didn't know why, maybe because it's the first time I talked to my father face to face...without any lie ?
Dawn : Mmh ?
And finally, once my voice laced through the space and reached his ears, he turned toward me with a brow raised, I froze instantly as I didn't think what I should do after calling him what.
But I had realized that half way after my voice came out, a part of me hoped that he wouldn't hear and continued his walk while the other screamed for me to be honest.
??? : I-i mean-ah...
My voice gradually slowed and grew weaker, losing my composure as I moved nervously, my gaze turning left and right to try and find a subject of conversation.
A long minute then passed as neither of us spoke up, it made me so anxious...even that day where I first came into contact with my father didn't shake me like that.
Dawn : Wh-
*Grrrrrr*
Suddenly, as if heaven and fate mocked me...my stomach growled loud enough for the surrounding inhabitant to turn toward me.
I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment while holding my hood trying to tore it bigger...i screw up...
Dawn : Pfff, i have some walk to do before reaching my appointment so why not come with me, i'll get you something to eat on the way.
???: Y-yes !
I quickly accepted trying to end this public humiliation already, some of the hair strands fell out when i looked up.
My hood flew back as I was suddenly hit by a light gale of wind...I tried to cover back my head but it was too late as pretty much everyone here must have realized the clear resemblance between me and my father.
After all, my hair was just as white as his...my pale blue eyes shone like lightning whenever the sun reflected in them.
And not only that, just my appearance...I had only ever since my biological father through the memories given to me by my mother, Catherine Wisdon.
But I was a bit proud to say that I was a splitting image of a female version of my father.
???: Ah...
My eyes widened as I panicked, I tried to get the hood back but was stopped when a hand grabbed my left wrist.
Dawn : You are really pretty so no need to hide your face.
???: I-
I was left speechless, in reality I really liked my hair...they were long and it was one of the things I took after my parents...
But because of my disguise and lie, I started hiding and surely...those pure white hair became second, I think there was a time when I forgot how I even looked...
Anyway, after getting complimented by my own father...i felt all strength in my arm leave, letting them fall as I nodded.
I knew in a way, I wanted to walk side to side with him without my hood...this way, we did look like a father and a daughter, or maybe more like two siblings since he looks like a man in his twenties.
Dawn : See, you are pretty enough to not hide your face.
His comforting smile made me jolt a bit, it was really shocking to say the least...as I know how cold and emotionless he was as Origin Averion and as the supreme commander of the Holy empire of Ruberios.
But right now, all those facades melted to reveal a simple man...I couldn't help but smile at that as the suppressed childish instinct I had killed a long time ago resurfaced.
I enthusiastically grabbed his hand and started to run.
???: Then let's go !
Grinning, I felt more alive than I ever did,my adopted family back on earth wasn't that good, my father was kind and worked in the manga industry but the same couldn't be said for my mother...they had given me a name that i still use to cover myself...
Though, my true name...the one given to me by my true mother always reminded me of my origin and was my pride.
I always comforted myself by knowing how great of a man my true father was, and how much my biological mother loved me.
The memories given to me were my sole pillar all those years...decades and this long life.
I fought for so long alone, yet I refused the opportunity given to me to start a family bond with my father...who was also right beside me, I just felt scared to meet him.
That he won't accept me, that he doesn't have his memories yet...
But today, I felt my own desire crawl up into my brain...forcing my selfishness to take over my rational side.
Dawn : This stand sells some tigre bear meat,
Breaking me out of thought, I realized that I was still running while holding his hand...we were already half way through the destination which I judged to be Tempest's headquarter building.
I blushed a bit, as I couldn't control my excitement and quickly let go of his hand as he chuckled.
Dawn : No need to hurry, come I'll buy you some food.
I just nodded quietly as we made our way to the food stand, the owner was a big orc who greeted us with a joyful smile.
It was still early in the morning and half of his stand was still left unattended, surely we were his first customers of the day.
Orc : Welcome dear customers ! What can I get for you ?
Dawn : Let's see, I want everything you can sell and 10 times each.
Orc : E-eh ?
???: ...
My mouth opened agape as I turned toward my father with wide eyes, w-what did he just say ? Did I appear to be a heavy eater ? Or was the growl my stomach produced that loud ?
I couldn't comprehend the reason he made such an absurd request to a small food stand.
Orc : U-i...sir, i don't think i have the required aliments to make this...
Dawn : Well, that's bad...I can't let a young girl starve...
I blushed even harder before grabbing his sleeve, i-is that his true nature ? How can he lack so much common sense ! Dawn Arceid is a respected and smart man ! I worked with him so i know !
Is that even the same person ?!
???: S-sorry, please prepare two brochette of your tiger bear meat, please...
I let out our order with a deep sight while hiding my face by facing the ground, my finger tip still holding my father's sleeve.
For a moment, he looked down at me confused...clearly showing how serious he was about his previous order.
I groaned internally, and just went on as we quietly patiently waited for the Orc owner to make the food.
Orc : Very well ! Just 2 minutes and it will be ready !
His previous confused face returned to his welcoming manner, he sure did a good job hiding his uneasiness around my father.
Eventually, we got our food and left...i walked slowly while munching the tiger bear meat, it was tender and juicy.
In a way, even if i never tasted it...i would compare it to a A5 Wagyu beef back on earth.
On the way, I took a few glances toward my father but stopped after sometime because...every time I looked at him, his eyes were on me.
As if taunting me, he moved at the same time...making me more flustered, the brochette still in hand, he hadn't even taken a single bite.
???: Why aren't you eating ?
Dawn : I'm going to have lunch with a few friends, so I'll refrain myself for now.
It's a lie...he is a true hero, not something even bigger now...the notion of eating isn't relevant to him now...
But I didn't mention it, it would make me suspicious and also...I didn't want to ruin this quiet yet peaceful atmosphere.
Ultimately, all good things have an end as his destination comes to view...slowly dropping my pace. I watched as lady Shuna, also known as the ogre princess, was waiting in front of the building.
I knew that my time with my father came to an end...I was tempted to reveal myself to him but shook my head in disappointment.
Dawn : Do you want to come in ?
???: No...thank you for the food, I really appreciate it.
I came here earlier than the other, because I wanted to see alone how beautiful Tempest was...how beautiful the city my father looked up to and praised.
Though I had to cover back to my true appearance because my fake one would be dangerous to walk around with, she should be somewhere else after.
Meeting Dawn here and talking to him wasn't planned, as I just wanted to take a quick look.
Dawn : Don't mind it.
Smiling, he turned toward me and patted my head again...he is too dense to see my state, I really liked the sensation of having your father patting your head.
I might be a century old now...but I never felt this kind of warm...it's really comforting.
Dawn : Then until we meet again.
???: Yes...thank you ag-ugh !
Before I could finish, he had shoved the tiger bear brochette he had kept in hand until now directly into my mouth.
I gaped for an instant before recomposing myself and giving him an annoyed glare.
Dawn : You sounded like it was a farewell, I don't really like that.
He talked with a sarcastic teasing tone, before letting me go and walking away...his hand raised and waved as I watched his back.
My teeth slowly pierced the food he had just fetched into my mouth, as a feeling of loss crept up into my heart.
I slowly used both my hands to examine my head, the part where his warm hand had just ruffled before letting out a big sight.
I grabbed my hood and put it back in place...i really shouldn't go overboard, I still have my goal, my mission...
???: Maybe once I kill him...I might be able to start a family with my father...
His body figured in the horizon as the sun rose, father didn't know...he surely couldn't know the deep truth I held.
When my mother Catherine Wisdon died, she had never revealed part of herself...even to the one man she had loved and will love in any world.
With her limited knowledge yet once in age talent, she had used the information given by Origin, my father and predicted the future with her skill.
I was born intelligent, I was born to help my father in the future...I was gifted with my mother's legacy.
As she realized by herself how fearsome the mastermind we had to face...
My father, no Dawn Arceid didn't know but the death of Shyria back then wasn't a coincidence...how in the first place, those beast of destruction appeared ?
Why did the attack decrease after Averion's fall ? Why did Origin Averion gain knowledge beyond our reality ?
Because, all this was planned all along...the entity now known as Author made a fool of everyone.
Using the beast of destruction to cause Shyria's death so he could trigger Origin's breakdown...giving him power when he was desperate.
So he could create for himself a perfect puppet after resignation...the manipulation had started way before the history i know.
And my mother knew that this was going to be a hard fight...so she placed her bet on me, while dying she had accelerated her own death.
Using her skill...which is called Synthesis, she managed to transfer data about her and my father's memories into her womb which held me.
But since this world was the playground for the mastermind, she couldn't leave me here safe...she had used all the knowledge about the body and soul she learned from the experiment to revive Shyria.
Eventually, the synthesis was perfect as she sent my soul with all its information through the world barrier...her progress is unknown to me because I never could understand the essence of her skill.
This just proves once more how big of a genius Catherine Wisdon was...when the notion of skill was unknown she managed to attain a mastery that would put many demon lords to shame.
After that, my soul had crawled into a baby who was abandoned...the previous soul died before getting a proper life.
But...it served me as a host, my soul crawled into its skin before reshaping its composition and that's how I was born.
My DNA, my hair and eyes...all belong to the mix of the prestigious heroic blood of Averion and the blood of the Sinful witch Catherine Wisdon.
After that, I lived for several decades before an accident where I passed...thought it was more because of the order of fate as my soul had to go back to the cardinal world.
The same process then happened again, a poor soul destined to suffer...she had died at birth too, allowing me to take the body and reforming it to connect my existence...the body's name was Clarice.
Later things happened, I had to help back and cover myself with lies...wipe out a part of my memories to manipulate myself into my own new character as I used my life on Earth as the basis of all..
Deceiving everyone but my own fate...until father took me in, at that point the first few steps of my grand goal were achieved.
That's right, I'm here to kill the Author...the one who made my father suffer, the one who forced my mother to sacrifice herself, the one who robbed me of my happy life.
???: That's right, i'll kill him for all the suffering he inflicted to me and those I will hold dear.
Dawn Pov
Mmh...was it no good ? Why did she refuse me buying her more food ? And me who wanted to bond a little more with my daughter...maybe I should have brought the entire stand...
It's very different from the children I took in before...after all I trained Horizon and company in a way so they could become soldiers...
The same for Shyria in my past life and the memories from Elite are useless since he died before getting married.
So I don't have any parent/children experience...should I ask Rimuru ? Or Shizue since she is often seen as a maternal figure...
Oh...Velzard did become a mother for Snowie for quite a while but she was already a grown up spirit...
Dawn : This is confusing...
In any case, as I suspected she was my daughter...I had instantly recognized her despite the change in appearance...to think-
Shuna : We have arrived.
Breaking out of my thoughts, I was still following Shuna after she welcomed me and guided me toward the lunch room.
Entering, I found Ramiris sitting talking with Veldora...
Dawn : (I feel like killing a dragon now...)
Rimuru was chatting with Shizue and seemed to have a good time, behind him Testa and Diablo stood there motionlessly.
I could also feel Carrera's presence nearby...she must be on patrol and for Ultima, well she was on one of the rooftops when I was confronted ??? and fled after realizing I was there.
Wait...did ??? refused the food because I looked scary ? No no no...this can't be ! I was told I had become pretty handsome and the inhabitants of Tempest didn't look at me differently !
Rimuru : Oh Dawn-kun ! You're here, I got a bit worried after this little fox came in alone and said you had to deal with something.
Looking down, I saw Kyuri happily nuggling the food prepared for her...it was a mix of meat and vegetable, actually...this plate looks better than any food the chef of Ruberios ever made...
Dawn : Yeah...sorry for being late, I had to meet up with someone important.
Rimuru : Sure, Shuna will bring your food so come take a seat and let's drink !
Dawn : It's still early in the morning...
Rimuru : Don't worry, it's just fruit juice.
Grinning, he seemed oddly happy...I guess the festival was just next door, everything was ready and he put up a lot of effort.
But contrary to the original novel, this time the festival will be held for 2 weeks...the labyrinth was finished yesterday though it seems Milim has yet to bring the dragon king for the last few floor bosses.
Anyway, the main event for this festival happens the first day with Rimruu welcoming the many rulers around the world... on the 2 day the musical concert, on the fifth day where the tournament will be held, the same day at noon will be the fireworks...
At the end of the first week, the labyrinth's introduction and a little speech we had prepared with the allied nation.
And for the rest of the second week...it's reserved to the more modest population and adventurers as the labyrinth will be open for free during that period.
Dawn : Hai hai.
Returning the smile, I sat down on one of the many chairs around the rectangular table.
Ramiris : By the way Rimuru, i had made the 100 floors but we still lack many bosses as you call them.
Rimuru : I'm still working on it, Milim said she had a way to solve that and went ahead...if she doesn't come back in a few days i guess i'll have to find a temporary solution.
Ramiris : If you say so.
The truth problem lay in the quality, since Veldora's aura could spawn many monsters on every floor but they were at best A rank monsters.
Dawn : Well maybe you could give this job to those unnamed monster you got.
Rimuru : Mmh ? Who ?
Dawn : Well for example...the fox you got from Clayman.
Smiling, I patted Kyuri's head...her fur sure is soft and warm.
Rimuru : The fox ? What kind of monster are they anyway ?
Dawn : It's a race called nine heads but in reality they are cryptid...
I could see in the corner of my eyes, Ramiris flinching at the mention of cryptids...she must have had bad memories when concerning Ivarage.
Now that i think, there was no mention of the spirit queen in my past life...i wonder what she did before creating the dwelling of spirit.
Rimuru : Cryptid ?
Dawn : To put it bluntly, they are the descendants of the world destroyer and evil god.
Rimuru : That...sounds horrific ?
Dawn : Don't be, they are an intelligent race and very different from the stereotype of an evil descendant.
Ramiris : If you want an idea, the beast you saw appearing above Ruberios's sky last time was another descendant of Ivarage...the evil god.
Rimuru : They are freaking strong then...
I nodded, well even the Rimuru now which is far from his prime could take several one.
Dawn : There are two types of them, the first one is the mindless beast of destruction...also known as Instinct of destruction...their purpose is only annihilation and ending.
Memories of Averion flew back in my mind...at the same time, I saw Testa pour me some juice, wait did she actually pour a drink for anyone else other than Rimuru ?!
Dawn : The second type is those like Kyuri, they are conscious and intelligent, if raised well their potential will bloom, if being told to destroy they aren't any different from the Instinct of destruction.
Rimuru : That's a lot to take in...I hope they never appear above Tempest.
Dawn : They wouldn't dare.
I chuckled, even mindless...appearing in Tempest is clear death, you got the spirit queen, a true dragon, a demon lord and soon the hero Chloe Aubert.
For A Long time, their many allies...now that I think Rudra is already making his move...surely, attacking Tempest when all the world forces are around isn't wise.
What is his plan ? Things are going the unexpected route...
Rimuru : Anyway, I guess I should try to name the fox then...
Dawn : You definitely should, by the way Kyuri here is the grandmother of the nine head you are keeping.
Suddenly Kyuri's body glowed bright gold, it didn't startle me much as i knew she was going to her other form.
Her tails grew long and body more graceful, finally she grew up in size...big enough so she won't fit being carried in my arms.
Dawn : This is Kyuri's second phase, though most of her power is still dormant...you should be able to tell how powerful she can be.
Kyuri : Kyu !
Meowling, I could see the fascination in Diablo and Testa's eyes...Veldora finally drifted from his manga which he started after Ramiris started conversing with us.
He looked at the fox with keen interest, as for Ramiris she got up and went to the fox with a fond smile.
Ramiris : Well aren't you cute.
Kyuri : Thank you, Grandma !
Ramiris : G-grandma ?
This subconsciously struck an imaginary blow to Ramiris who took a step back, much to Dawn's amusement.
Ramiris : (I'm not that old right...i mean, I still haven't gotten married or any relationship, ugh it hurt a bit to be called grandma in my young youth...)
Dawn : Anyway, Kyuri here can help develop your little fox after all they are related.
Rimuru : I-i mean...yeah ?
Raphael : (Notice : Individual Kyuri has several times more magicule than Benimaru.)
Rimuru : What th- i mean, yeah good idea...(Better leave common sense out when it's about Dawn-kun...)
Thus this fruitful breakfast continued before ending on a favorable and pleasant note.
3rd Pov
Later that day, Rimuru took Dawn's advice and named Kumara...the fox was delighted by the development and gained several more tails.
Since Dawn decided to leave before she had yet to meet Kyuri...but that is a reunion for another time.
As for the rest of the day, many nobles and adventurers were welcomed in Tempest...the festival was truly going to begin now.
People like the lighting hero Masayuki, a convoy from Ruberios with most of its important figures like the Pope and holy emperor escorted by the Great saints.
And even rumors about the goddess Luminous accompanied by the newly formed Genesis knight order.
But that wasn't all, words spreaded as most of the former demon lords would be present, the empress of Sarion, the king of Dwargon and even some more surprising guests...
Which one of them coincidentally met Dawn in one of the many streets composing the capital of Tempest.
Currently sat in a vip lounge...in one of the most reputed restaurants in Tempest.
The three figures who had just met on the street glared at each other...beside them were their own attendant/friend.
Dawn had Kyuri sit on his lap while the fox kept track of the situation this time...she was ready to pounce on the enemy.
Beside him was Testarossa as she still accompanied him for the remainder of his stay in Tempest, she was more tense than usual but her prideful attitude didn't flatter.
On the other side was a man who had taken off his hood...he had come here in Tempest by hiding his identity, beside him was a woman whose beauty is said to be otherworldly...
Finally behind him were two guards clearly implying his nobles status....
Lastly, the last man sitting at the same table came alone...his eyes glinted in a playful manner as the three kept quiet...
The waiter then entered and put the dishes on the table before leaving in a hurry...unable to stand in the pressure those individuals emanated.
There was no aura, just their presence was enough to make anyone want to flee from the scene...
Dawn : So...i didn't expect to meet you guys here...
Finally breaking the silence, Dawn was the first to speak...his left eye glimmered electric blue as he smirked.
A tint of shadow covered his face as he dropped his head slightly letting his messy hair in front of his eyes.
His voice dripped with extreme sarcasm and confidence.
Dawn : Let's enjoy our meal, Guy Crimson and your majesty Rudra Nam ul Nasca.
In the shadow before the great Festival, a preview of the near great war had already begun.
